Yesterday I just did another long term magnetic viscosity test –>

1. I took a dead horseshoe PM (either alnico or hard steel) that had hardly no strength. Difficult to even detect.
2. Placed two ferrite PM’s on each end of the horseshoe PM.
3. Remove ferrite PM’s in ~ 30 seconds.
4. Measured horseshoe PM. No measurable difference.
5. Placed two ferrite PM’s on each end of the horseshoe PM.
6. Remove ferrite PM’s in a few minutes.
7. Measured horseshoe PM. Slight stronger.
8. Placed two ferrite PM’s on each end of the horseshoe PM.
9. Remove ferrite PM’s in ~ one half an hour.
10. Measured horseshoe PM. Significantly stronger.

This shows a long term magnetic viscosity. It’s amazing how slow some magnetic materials react to change. Steps 1 – 4 are amazing in that it reveals the slow process. The reason this occurs is there are wide range of energy levels within the material. IOW, the energy required to flip some ferromagnetic atoms. The applied field alone is by far insufficient. This is understood when magnetic material is child to extremely low temperatures. While chilled, the magnetic materials coercivity significantly increases, and I’d bet the farm so will the long term magnetic viscosity. It is the vibrating ambient thermal energy that does most of the work in flipping ferromagnetic atoms. Charts on NdFeB PM’s show that with an increase in temperature will decrease the coercivity.

What’s occurring in the long term magnetic viscosity experiments is the energy level required to flip the more difficult ferromagnetic atoms is significantly higher than the average ambient thermal energy. Ambient thermal *noise* energy is close to a guassian distribution. If we were to view a particular ferromagnetic atom, we would see it randomly vibrating– ambient thermal energy. If we were to display such movements on an oscilloscope, we would see the energy level randomly rising, falling. The peaks are also randomly. Within the millisecond it may peak to a level of 1. Within a second it may peak to a level of 10. Within 1 hour it may peak to a level of 30. It’s purely random, but Gaussian distribution shows the probability of such and event occurring within a given time period.

So in my horseshoe PM exist a varying amount of ferromagnetic atoms where some are extremely difficult to flip, some are easy to flip, and with a wide range in between. The difficult atoms are mostly the ones that stick, that make it a PM.

I’m wondering, is it possible to use this horseshoe PM to test my Free Energy design 1? Could the “free energy” effect due to magnetic viscosity overcome all of the losses in eddy currents and coercivity? A simple test would be to ***slowly*** magnetize two of such *separated* horseshoe PM’s, then quickly move both horseshoe PM’s together such that they attract. Then use a big coil, shorted out, to appreciably capture the energy as both horseshoe PM’s slowly demagnetize. Since this material has incredibly long term magnetic viscosity, you would not have to move the two horseshoe’s together that fast. Although, it could take months for both horseshoe PM’s to slowly demagnetize! Hmm, perhaps not such a good experiment.
